Looking for new wheels

First post on this forum. Looking at wheels for my 2011 panel. Anyone have any experience with the Eagle series 192 or Drifz 207 MB??? I'm thinking about replacing the 16" wheels with 17" and new tires so I will have the factory steel wheels and tires for the long winters here in Buffalo. Just looking to get some feedback from the folks here before i pull the trigger. Anyone have an idea of what the maximum 17"tire will fit with no issues. Not looking for taller but a tad wider would be cool.

225/50/R17 fits well....... You may fit wider but not much taller that that. The 192 is a sweet looking wheel.

Welcome and Greetings! Here's a link to a really good tire size calculator many folks use here, just remember that 26" tall is really the limit on tire height. Once you get over 26" you run into issues with the inner sidewall hitting and rubbing on the front struts, specifically the lower spring perch.
